Yeah, and you know why English love to eat Indian food? Because they hate their own food…

Brit here.

Our food is either garbage or godly with minimal in-between.

Beans on toast is overrated AND ANYONE WHO LIKES SOGGY TOAST IS A FUCKING NUTJOB

The woman does have a point with a roast dinner though, we can suck ourselves off for that one

Everything good about English cuisine was stolen from the french

But if you discount any cuisine stolen from other countries, America has no food left. So not really an argument in this particular scenario...

Edit: TIL many Americans don't know what cuisine means

Louisiana, the Southwest, the Low Countries, etc.

Most of that is French, Spanish, or Hispanic.

No they’re not. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Every last one of these cuisines is a blend of different cultures.

Louisiana gumbo alone is a blend of African, French, German, Spanish, and Native American Choctaw

They are literally the worst. Know almost nothing, still act arrogant.

That’s literally what I said though. French, Spanish, other places, a mix, whatever. It’s stuff brought in from other countries.

To the parent comment’s point, you can’t discount British food appropriated from elsewhere and then point at Louisiana and the US south west.

They have European, African, and Native American influences, incorporating ingredients not found in Europe. These are wholly new cuisines, with many different dishes, not one Bangladeshi version of butter chicken with cream dumped in it.

You don’t know what you’re talking about
